Portland Sunday weather: Clear sky for a crisp fall day

It’s shaping up to be another clear, crisp autumn day around Portland.

The forecast calls for a clear sky all day and night Sunday, with a high of 54 degrees and a low of 37, according to the National Weather Service. Expect a breeze to blow all those freshly-fallen leaves around, with gusts between 14 and 18 mph, reaching up to 31 mph.

Air advisories from last week were lifted by the Department of Environmental Quality on Saturday, leaving air quality “good” throughout the Portland metropolitan area.

The forecast for Sunday also looks good around the region. Mount Hood should be clear with a high of 44 degrees at Government Camp, while the north Oregon coast should get a high of 57 degrees under blue sky as well.

It all adds up to a beautiful day to go outside, and you’d be wise to take the opportunity. Clouds will slowly return Monday and Tuesday, with rain likely on Wednesday, Thanksgiving and Black Friday.
